Bravo. You took the unique thing about the setting and character and made it into unique gameplay elements that fit the theme and sounds like fun. Superman's dilemma is not being able to stop everything despite his power and the rules of the game tell that story. I think you'd be a good game designer if you aren't already. The only thing I can think to add is maybe Kryptonite makes him have a health bar and diminished powers for a while, so he has to turn from the cat into the mouse for a little while until it wears off, kind of like stars in GTA.
What Wario game are you referring to? I haven't owned a Nintendo system in a long time.
IIRC, Wario Land 3 has no health or lives. Enemies can only modify your state. Wario Land 4 walked it back a bit by adding hearts, but most of the game is still a movement puzzle, where you have to get flattened to walk under narrow passages, lit on fire to turn to ash and fall through gratings, stung by bees to swell up and fly like a balloon, et very cetera. And then every level ends with a timed dash back to the entrance.
